Windows Server 2016 is not pingable while it can ping other devices and have DNS problems
- Oct 15, 2018
On DC1 remove the router address listed for DNS and replace with 172.29.114.52, then do ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns, and reboot.
The ipconfig on "problemclient" is Ok.
The two ipconfig files you put up both have the same hostname? Which would be problematic.
For some reason root hints are IPv6 only. (would have expected IPv4)
As a work around you can add your ISP or other public DNS as forwarders. (remove router address here as well)
Okay, I've found out, that the Windows 7 Client is not able to receive network config from my DHCP, but when configured manualy using the DNS 172.29.114.52, it is able to connect to the internet.
